Scrabble dictionary grows to include hip-hop and web words

  • 12 years ago
http://www.nma.tv/ UK publisher Collins has added 3,000 new entries to its list of playable Scrabble words, including more slang terms. Among them are Hip Hop influenced words like "thang," "blingy" and "grrl." Internet buzzwords like "Facebook," "fansite" and "webzine" also made the list. Scrabble has long been considered an intellectual's game, and some purists see the changes as a "dumbing down." One can't help but wonder what the next edition of the Scrabble dictionary will include.
